IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR

摘要

Going into business with your family isn't always recommended. As the late George Burns once said, "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family. . .in another city." But there is something about the maritime industry that just gets into your blood and binds families together. Take for example Anthony Chiarello, the President and CEO of TOTE, Inc. Chiarello knows something about going into the family business. He is the fourth generation in his family to enter the shipping industry. His great grandfather operated a ferry service between Sicily and North Africa in the mid 1800s and his grandfather Diego started Chiarello Brothers (which later became American Stevedores) in 1898, after Anthony's family immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Brooklyn. Anthony's father, Richard, uncle and cousins all worked at Chiarello Brothers.
